	Morning all, I have aquired a full set of staggered cookie cutters for the Porker from a mate for a very good price. They are 6J on the front and 7J on the rear to fit under the arches but I need tyres... Currently the rears are sitting on utterly knackered but MASSIVE 215/60/R15 which will give a nice ride but look like baloons! I was thinking of swapping my current summer tyres over once I get the refurb sorted, 195/60/R15, but will this look odd given the extra rim width on the rear? Ideally I'd like to keep matched tyres all around and I have Avon ZV5s on the summer rims. Any suggestions? Pics of the refurb will go on the 'Wheel Polishing Fetish' thread. Thanks Rich

	Thanks, not worried about the fit, they will fit, but will they look odd? The 195/60 looks fine on a 6j rim (High profile goodness) but will it look odd paired with the same tyre on a 7j rim?

	195 on a 7 should give a pretty square factory looking profile. They shouldn't look out of place at all.
